How to write zines with simple tools

Julia Evans:

I finally realized last week that instead of “what tools do you use to write zines?” some people may have actually wanted to know “how can I do this myself?”! And “buy a $500 iPad” is not a terribly useful answer to that question – it’s not how I got started, iPads are kind of a weird fancy way to write zines, and most people don’t have them.

I’ve always kind of wanted to publish a zine. It just seems like a lot of work and I’m lazy.
